My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 246: Chapter 0246 Xiao Baibai_1
 

“How about you take it with you?” Vermilion Bird asked.

“I can’t even take care of myself, let alone raise a puppy.”

Whine, hiss!

It seemed to take offense at being called a puppy by Ye Xiong, but quickly resumed tugging at his pants.

This guy, could it actually understand human speech? Ye Xiong wondered.

“Do you want to come with me?” Ye Xiong suddenly asked.

The little animal nodded.

“Wag your tail,” Ye Xiong commanded.

The little animal wagged its tail nonstop.

So adorable, Vermilion Bird nearly died of jealousy. Life was so unfair, why couldn’t it be lazy like itself?

Ye Xiong’s mouth was agape, it took him a moment to snap back to reality.

I’m rich, this is really striking it rich!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Girls these days are all about compassion overload. If I bring this little dog, oh wait, I don’t know if it’s a dog or a cat, to pick up girls, wouldn’t that be invincible and unbeatable?

This could be an even more lethal girl-attracting weapon than Yang Xinyi’s eight million luxury car!

An image formed in Ye Xiong’s mind: Yang Xinyi was taking a shower, the little animal sneaked in, accidentally took her nightgown and then she was forced to walk out of the room stark naked, providing a feast for his eyes.

“That expression on your face, so wicked!” Vermilion Bird stared at him and said.

“Ahem, I was just thinking whether to adopt it or not. Seeing how pitiful it is, I guess I’ll do it the favor and take it in!” Ye Xiong said.

Upon hearing this, the little animal barked and meowed excitedly.

Ye Xiong roughly understood the little creature’s mood now; it whined and hissed when angry, while it barked and meowed when happy.

“From now on, your name is Xiao Baibai,” Ye Xiong named it.

“Why not just Xiao Bai?”

“Xiao Bai is too common. Pets in TV shows are either called Xiao Bai or Xiao Hui, so boring. Xiao Baibai has more character.”

In fact, he thought the name Xiao Baibai was cuter.

The group exited the cave, He Mengji, Chen Xiao, and Thirteen were already waiting.

“Thirteen, are you okay?” Ye Xiong asked.

“I’m fine. The guy used poison on me, I managed to run some distance before I passed out, which saved me,” Thirteen explained.

“That’s good. Meng Ji would have been worried if something had happened to you,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

Thirteen glanced at He Mengji without saying a word, but his face clearly showed happiness.

Next, Ye Xiong recounted what happened inside the cave. Everyone felt a sense of satisfaction when they learned how Ye Xiong had seriously wounded Ghost; however, they also felt disappointment upon hearing that Ghost made a desperate escape in the end.

The group then descended the mountain and once they had a signal, Ye Xiong called back home. Learning that the Lingnan Divine Doctor had completely cured Xinyi of her poison, his heavy heart finally settled down.

After this experience, his will to become stronger was ignited. He swore that if anyone dared to mess with his woman again, he would make them pay dearly.

“Eh, what’s that?”

Only then did Chen Xiao notice something like a puppy following Ye Xiong.

“Ye Xiong’s new pet, it has really soft fur; it’s quite comfortable to pet,” Vermilion Bird lied.

Hearing this, the compassion in Chen Xiao overflowed, and she reached out to hug Xiao Baibai.

Whine!

Xiao Baibai growled and bit her hand, drawing blood immediately; a small set of teeth marks appeared on Chen Xiao’s finger.

Vermilion Bird burst into laughter at the sight, saying, “Serves you right, this little one follows no one but Ye Xiong. Trying to hug it was just asking for trouble.”

“Great, so you knew all along and decided to play me, is that it?” Chen Xiao got angry.

“So what if I did, can you bite me?”

“You… I curse you to forever be flat-chested,” Chen Xiao cursed.

“You have the guts to curse me again.”

“I’ll say it again, you’re flat-chested, what about it!”

Vermilion Bird threw a kick and struck out, catching Chen Xiao off guard. Chen Xiao, feeling played and angry, squared off with him on the spot.

“What an oddly matched pair!”

He Mengji laughed, then suddenly squatted down, her animated eyes peering at Xiao Baibai as she whispered, “Come here, let me hold you.”

Xiao Baibai looked at He Mengji and, unlike her reaction to Vermillion Bird and Chen Xiao where she growled in anger, simply stepped back a few paces and pressed tightly against Ye Xiong, refusing to be held by her.

“This creature seems quite intelligent; those eyes look as if they understand human speech,” He Mengji observed Xiao Baibai closely and then turned to ask, “Ye Xiong, where did you buy it?”

Ye Xiong told her about his encounter with Xiao Baibai outside the experimental base cave.

“I feel like Xiao Baibai doesn’t come from genetic research but rather seems more like… the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast,” He Mengji suddenly said.

“The Thunder Mountain Divine Beast, isn’t that a fictional creature?” asked Ye Xiong, puzzled.

“Not necessarily fictional. Think about it, the legend of the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast has been circulating in Miaojiang for more than a hundred years, whereas the Beast Organization was only established a few years ago. Even though they used the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast as a cover, who can guarantee whether the real Divine Beast actually exists or not?”

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but pick up Xiao Baibai, hold him up in front of his face, and scrutinize him closely.

Could this small creature, looking like a dog but with a cat’s face, possibly be a Divine Beast?

“No matter what you are, as long as you behave, I’ll keep you with me.”

Subsequently, the group of five headed up the mountain to find a place to stay.

Ye Xiong found a pet shop and got Xiao Baibai a vaccination certificate, then bought a pet carrier to prepare it for air shipment. Otherwise, there was no way to take Xiao Baibai back home.

When they returned to the hotel, Vermilion Bird was once again bickering with Chen Xiao, teasing him about his age and calling him an old man.

Please, Chen Xiao was only in his late twenties—he wasn’t old!

However, among this group, he indeed was the oldest.

Chen Xiao would unchangingly tease Vermilion Bird about her small chest, and their banter never seemed to stop the entire way.

On the surface, their quarrels made Ye Xiong feel that their relationship had somehow grown closer.

Could they possibly end up liking each other after all this bickering?

On the other hand, although Thirteen didn’t talk much, everyone knew he liked his mistress, but as for what He Mengji was thinking, that was anyone’s guess.

Seeing everyone paired up, Ye Xiong felt like a loner and his desire to return to Jiangnan grew even stronger.

He wondered how well Xinyi’s injury had healed.

Would there be any lasting effects?

Hopefully, there wouldn’t be any scars, right?

…

At the base of Thunder Mountain, in a certain hotel.

Two beauties lay on a bed.

“Angel, what should we do?” An Le asked.

“Call me sister.”

“Sister my foot, even the doctor has forgotten who was born first between us.”

“In any case, at home, I’m the elder sister,” Angel retorted.

The sisters had a quick spat, then fell into silence again.

“Our leader is badly injured and nobody knows where he is; what do we do now?” An Le sighed.

“What else can we do? We wait for the leader to contact us,” Angel responded.

“But… do you really want to keep living this kind of life?”

An Le turned her head to look at Angel. They exchanged glances, neither saying a word.

“With the leader’s extraordinary skills, if we betray him, we only have a one-way ticket to death. Who doesn’t want to be a good person and be respected? But you need to be alive for that!”

“What if we go to Reaper?”

After thinking for a moment, An Le said, “He can transform now, and even our leader couldn’t defeat him. If he’s willing to take us in, wouldn’t our safety be guaranteed?”

“That sounds good, but that guy is really fierce; I’m a bit scared to stay with him,” Angel admitted.

“I’m scared too, but I think he’s not that bad. If he wanted to kill us, he would have done it already, and he wouldn’t have let us go. Why don’t we give it a try?” Angel suggested.
